I couldn't locate any!! Argh! I did find at my friends shop a better solid axle nut. replacing the front left wheel bearing this time the hub did get chewed up, must be from this thread, heh. so front left has new bearing and hub with solid nut. I also chased the nut and the spindle so threads were B.E.A.YUUtiful. couldn't locate a second hub and still need to do the right side this week. I suspect the right hub got chewed this time around as well.

I hope to find a pair of better nuts with locking tabs, so I can groove the spindle and lock em down. I think this should ensure the bearings last a much longer time, maybe an entire year, and I don't have to constantly re torque em.

Reliability mods are the Best!
